Z2K has a clear 2025–2030 strategy and a strong reputation for principled, evidence‑led campaigning rooted in frontline experience. The external environment is volatile: rising poverty, political contestation around welfare and housing, and tightening funding conditions.
After a long‑standing Chief Executive stepped down in late 2025, the organisation has been led by an Interim Chief Executive. The permanent appointment is therefore a moment of consolidation and renewal. The next Chief Executive will provide long‑term stability, sharpen strategic focus and define the organisation’s next phase.
Z2K faces structural pressures common to many charities of this scale: rising costs, reliance on grant funding, growing demand and increasing scrutiny. The Chief Executive must do two things at once:
-
Increase measurable impact of our advice services and advocacy work on inadequate incomes and high costs.
-
Build a financially resilient, well‑run organisation capable of sustaining that impact.
This is not a figurehead role. It requires leadership with grip, political judgement and commercial realism.

About the Role
The Supervising Solicitor – Legal Aid is a key role in shaping and strengthening Release’s legal services.

While we do aim to grow legal aid income across the team to an initial target of £15,000–£25,000 per annum, the focus of this role is on developing high‑quality legal aid practice and building sustainable income collectively, as part of a mixed‑income organisational model.
